Ingredients You’ll Need
- Hummus – I used a spicy hummus for extra kick, but any flavor works in this recipe.
- Guacamole – Fresh, creamy guacamole adds richness and lime brightens the flavors.
- Salsa – A chunky salsa is ideal; store-bought or homemade both work well.
- Greek yogurt – Plain Greek yogurt replaces sour cream. Use 1 1/2 cups. For a thicker layer, blend in some cream cheese or use a dairy-free yogurt if needed.
- Taco seasoning – Two tablespoons of taco seasoning mixed into the yogurt add savory spice. Homemade or store-bought both taste great.
- Cheese – Shredded Mexican blend is recommended, but cheddar, Colby-Jack or mozzarella will work.
- Toppings – I used diced roma tomatoes, sliced olives and chopped green onions. Optional extras: diced bell peppers, sliced jalapeños, shredded lettuce or cilantro.
How to Make Healthy 7-Layer Taco Dip
- Season the yogurt. In a small bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons taco seasoning until smooth.
- Layer the dip. In an 8×8 or 7×11-inch baking dish (or a trifle bowl for presentation), spread an even layer of hummus. Add a layer of guacamole, then spread the chunky salsa over that. Top with the seasoned Greek yogurt.
- Add toppings and chill. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the yogurt, then add diced tomatoes, sliced olives and chopped green onions. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
How to Serve 7-Layer Taco Dip
- Serve with tortilla chips and fresh-cut vegetables for game day or a party.
- Offer as an appetizer on taco night or alongside Mexican-inspired mains.
- Spoon over tacos, enchiladas or fajitas for extra flavor.
- For a heartier option, add a layer of seasoned ground beef, chicken or turkey before the cheese.
Prepping and Storing
Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep in mind avocado in the guacamole may brown and salsa can release extra liquid over time, so this dip is best enjoyed fresh or within a day or two for optimal texture and appearance.
